I stay on top of what is happening with this group as there were some
real internal battles going on. It appears the people that "hijacked"
Jim's MMP website and took over the bank accounts are probably going to
jail and Jim is still in the drivers seat. Whew! It has been
interesting and scary, at the same time.

In case you don't know, the MMP (minuteman project) is the organized
group of civilian volunteers (vigilanties?) who are protecting the
US/Mexico borders from illegal boundry crossings in several states.

For more information go to Jim's site at:
www.JimGilchrist.com

The Minuteman Project site is being rebuilt now with a notice up to
viewers at www.MinutemanProject.com.

If you have not been seeing this guy around he has shown up on a lot of
news programs including Bill O'reilly. I signed up some time ago to get
the newsletters to stay on top of the developments.

Please read a few of the articles at Jim's site listed above.

What are your views (OHpinions) on this group of folks?
Do you think they are helping?
Or are they a bunch of rednecks getting kicks out of this?

No offense Marie! LOL.

No way jose... nobody drives my wheels but ME.

For those of us who were "there" the race riots in America were a very
scary time. Just think of the courage it took for these two to first,
find each other, realize they had a deep seated and abiding love, and
continue on to marriage during THAT time.
Incredible.

Great story, thanks for posting it.

Verb

I I deleted the b2evolution and set up the wordpress last night. It
looks TONS easier.

I also went to your blog and signed up but the email with the password
did not come. There must be some issues with my aol mailbox as I also
did not get the email from you yesterday that you kept sending.

When I get back later, I will check into the email problem.

It's just one thing after another, isn't it? LOL.

Have a great day all!

Verb

I am sooo glad I am not familiar with that blend...

That would gag a maggot on a gut wagon.

ugh!

OOpppss - I meant to say "how hard these books might be to FIND..."

I probably have a couple of the paperbacks left around here in a box
somewhere. She was so awesome.

I don't know how hard to find these books might be but I would try
Amazon or Barnes&Noble online, here is a list of her books:

I have read all but two of these and wish she had lived long enough to
write a dozen more... RIP.

Hey - I saw that movie. Good SCIENCE FICTION.

Of course, I would want to live forever if my kids did too... and the
world doesn't blow itself up in the forever scenario.

Maybe it's cause is so mysterious because the plastics folks don't want
anyone to know that if you nuke food (microwave) in plastic it can cause
cancer.

I am making myself a tinfoil hat like someone mentioned on some thread
the other day... OH, like they did in "Signs".

Hey Fanta, Yeah, I did think of that but then again, you never know what
THEY are thinking. As far that goes, if they wanted to involve Canada,
Buffalo (Niagara Falls) would be a place to make a big boom. Prevailing
winds or not, think of what that would do.

Iran is pushing the envelope with eveyone now so whatever happens with
this hostage situation (like the last) will have to be their advantage
or they will not release those folks. Sad, but true. They played the
waiting game with the world then and probably will again.

What makes anyone think Iran is capable of telling the truth? Bringing
the eyes of the world around to them is a way of bringing the powers
that be into line with what they want. Their timing could not be better
for these actions. While everyone is looking to them and asking for
their mercy (and they have none) they will be laughing and scheming.

Iran does not care about sanctions.

OK - going there now...

Kev, which type of blog did you set up? I started out with the
b2revolution (is that the name?) and have not had time to get back to
it. I have not blogged with it and am thinking I am not getting the
darn thing configured correctly anyhousen. I am thinking I might try the
wordpress or one of the others in cpanel and see...

Was yours easy to set up? Which one are you using? I want one at the
buddy site and RYK but as you know, time does not allow for a huge
learning curve on the set-up.

Thanks.

Oh wheee! I hope not! No rules about that, that I know of.

I don't know though... SORRY.

Hey Kevin, Sorry I did not write to you about this. I will though as
there are so many good deals out there. Don't BUY until you see if you
get cpanel or some scaled down version where they want to charge you for
the other services. At almost all of them - they offer a huge amount of
space for 3.95 a month but WITHOUT cpanel/fantastico. Been there, done
that.


ALSO, do not buy from anyone who does not have a phone number listed or
has offshore servers. That it nothing but trouble. If the servers are
not in the US or Canada they are not governed by US laws. I had some
good luck with some in Canada some time ago but then that fizzled out
also. I finally found a GOOD COMPANY that does not charge an arm and a
leg, and they have reseller packages too.

I'll get with you... not from my company but from the one I BUY FROM.

Sorry, am very busy here today - will get back to you on this issue.

There is a good, recent article on this here:

http://www.ktvu.com/news/9264350/detail.html

It really sounds icky...

Thanks for the post funlover101, I had not read about this one!

OK for those who will recognize this:

At RYK I still have a 3/10 PR and these bots came around in the last
week:

03-31-07 googlebot
03-31-07 inktomi slurp
03-31-07 msnbot
03-30-07 voila
03-28-07 askjeeves
03-25-07 thru 03-37-07 three other unknown bots.

So indexing does still happen regularly.
I guess I have some good links coming in there but want/need more.

I am getting ready to add some free kids coloring pages and free
calendar pages soon that will be printable and do not know how to make
them printable so have to jump into that mode, which I have to look up.
"Coloring pages" used as a key phrase gets used 3,350 times a day
according to Overture's numbers and I have been planning that for some
time. Have just decided to add calendars as free printables and possibly
chore charts and growth charts too. Just looking at the numbers today
(again) after a month or so of hiatius (busy with other sites) and
wonder if anyone has any other ideas ???

If you do not have the url I am talking about email me here, if you want
to know and help me look at getting that PR UP from where it has been
stuck for some time.

Also there seems to be some overwriting (that I have not seen) but has
been reported to me. Would like to get a handle on that too...

Thanks all for your help and if I can help YOU in anyway, just holler!

Verb

LOL. I am sure I offend too at times. Don't throw rocks at me either!

Hiya twosteper, no sweat dude. I have not seen anything that offended,
so far. But sushi is right, the women here will certianly tell ya,
won't we gals? LOL

Have a great day all.

Not relevant to the original question but relevant to a comment...

Canada and the US share a common border. Washington DC and New York
city are prime targets on the NE coast of the US as are others in that
area.

What part of Canada would NOT be hurt if say a nuke was dropped on NY?
Do you not think Canada would be involved then?

It actually behooves both countries to try to stay in-line with each
other on these matters/issues and surely both countries have a lot at
stake. I would say that the SE portion of Canada is just as important as
the rest of Canada so saying the NW Canada lands would be OK if that
happened just is not an option and the same goes for the US. Any nuke
dropped would have an inpact on both countries.

Maybe the Canadian PM is gearing up for what he knows could happen and
keeping in line with current events, I'd say he was smart to do so.
